Spectral Theory

We consider $C=A+B$ where $A$ is selfadjoint with a gap $(a,b)$ in its spectrum and $B$ is (relatively) compact. We prove a general result allowing $B$ of indefinite sign and apply it to obtain a $(\delta V)^{d/2}$ bound for perturbations…

We consider a class of translationally invariant magnetic fields such that the corresponding potential has a constant direction. Our goal is to study basic spectral properties of the Schr\"odinger operator ${\bf H}$ with such a potential.…

Finding the sparsest solutions to a tensor complementarity problem is generally NP-hard due to the nonconvexity and noncontinuity of the involved $\ell_0$ norm. In this paper, a special type of tensor complementarity problems with…

One of the first theorems in perturbation theory claims that for an arbitrary self-adjoint operator A there exists a perturbation B of Hilbert-Schmidt class, which destroys completely the absolutely continuous spectrum of A (von Neumann).…

We consider Laplacians on periodic both discrete and metric equilateral graphs. Their spectrum consists of an absolutely continuous part (which is a union of non-degenerate spectral bands) and flat bands, i.e., eigenvalues of infinite…

We consider an elliptic self-adjoint first order differential operator acting on pairs (2-columns) of complex-valued half-densities over a connected compact 3-dimensional manifold without boundary. The principal symbol of our operator is…

We consider functions on a graph $G$ whose evolution in time $-\infty<t<\infty$ is governed by a Schr\"{o}dinger type equation with a combinatorial Laplace operator on the right side. For a given subset $S$ of vertices of $G$ we compute a…

We determine accurate asymptotics for the low-lying eigenvalues of the Robin Laplacian when the Robin parameter goes to $-\infty$. The two first terms in the expansion have been obtained by K. Pankrashkin in the $2D$-case and by K.…

The paper is concerned with the Riesz basis property of a boundary value problem associated in $L^2[0,1] \otimes \mathbb{C}^2$ with the following $2 \times 2$ Dirac type equation $$ L y = -i B^{-1} y' + Q(x) y = \lambda y, \quad B =…

Let $l_{n}$ be the length of the $n$-th instability interval of the Hill operator $Ly=-y^{\prime\prime}+q(x)y$. We obtain that if $l_{n}=o(n^{-2})$ then $c_{n}=o(n^{-2})$, where $c_{n}$ are the Fourier coefficients of $q$. Using this…

We provide a class of unbounded three-dimensional domains of infinite volume for which the spectrum of the associated Dirichlet Laplacian is purely discrete. The construction is based on considering tubes with asymptotically diverging…

For the square tridiagonal Fibonacci Hamiltonian, we prove existence of an open set of parameters which yield mixed interval-Cantor spectra (i.e. spectra containing an interval as well as a Cantor set), as well as mixed density of states…

We find the high energy asymptotics for the singular Weyl--Titchmarsh m-functions and the associated spectral measures of perturbed spherical Schr\"odinger operators (also known as Bessel operators). We apply this result to establish an…

In this article we extend B. Simon's construction and results for leading order eigenvalue asymptotics to $n$-dimensional Schr\"odinger operators with non-confining potentials given by: $H^\alpha_n=-\Delta +\prod\limits_{i=1}^n…

We consider metric perturbations of the Landau Hamiltonian. We investigate the asymptotic behaviour of the discrete spectrum of the perturbed operator near the Landau levels, for perturbations with power-like decay, exponential decay or…

In this paper, we give a necessary and sufficient condition for an even order three dimensional strongly symmetric circulant tensor to be positive semi-definite. In some cases, we show that this condition is also sufficient for this tensor…

In this paper, we consider the streaming memory-limited matrix completion problem when the observed entries are noisy versions of a small random fraction of the original entries. We are interested in scenarios where the matrix size is very…

We study isospectrality for mixed Dirichlet-Neumann boundary conditions, and extend the previously derived graph-theoretic formulation of the transplantation method. Led by the theory of Brownian motion, we introduce vertex-colored and…

This is an updated survey on the inverse spectral problem written for the Notices of the ICCM. It rapidly reviews some of the material in the previous survey of the same title (arXiv:math/0402356) and then discusses some relatively new…

Let $\lambda_j$ be the $j$-th eigenvalue of Sturm-Liouville systems with separated boundary conditions, we build up the Hill-type formula, which represent $\prod\limits_{j}(1-\lambda_j^{-1})$ as a determinant of finite matrix. This is the…
